Innovation in transport procurement: From vision into practice
A free reception for:
- ATCO and CTA members
- Access10 delegates and visitors
- Transport and procurement professionals
Tuesday 23 February
17:15 to 18:45
Manchester Central (Charter Suite room 2)
The new decade will bring with it greater challenges for transport commissioners than ever before. Unprecedented pressures on public finance, new approaches through the personalisation agenda and new priorities from government of whatever stripe will all conspire to make dramatic change inevitable. One thing is certain: ‘the same but cheaper’ will not suffice. Innovation in service design and delivery must be the answer as transport commissioners rise to the challenge.
Join HCT Group and our partners Mouchel and the Community Transport Association to explore these issues at a special event at 17:15, Tuesday 23 February at Manchester Central in the Charter Suite (room 2). We will also be launching a new publication, ‘Innovation in transport procurement’, at the event, so don’t miss out on your free copy!
Drinks and canapés will be served and this event is free for all to attend.
